Learning Path
AWS Elemental MediaLive
AWS Elemental MediaLive is a broadcast-grade live video processing service. It lets you create high-quality video streams for delivery to broadcast televisions and internet-connected multiscreen devices, like connected TVs, tablets, smart phones, and set-top boxes. The service works by encoding your live video streams in real-time, taking a larger-sized live video source and compressing it into smaller versions for distribution to your viewers. With AWS Elemental MediaLive, you can easily set up streams for both live events and 24×7 channels with advanced broadcasting features, high availability, and pay-as-you-go pricing. AWS Elemental MediaLive lets you focus on creating compelling live video experiences for your viewers without the complexity of building and operating broadcast-grade video processing infrastructure.
Purpose-built Services for Media Workloads
AWS has fully managed solutions on pay-per-use basis for every step of the media value chain. These native media services are fully integrated into the console scaling to your business needs. Spin up and combine multiple AWS services directly from the AWS console including services for content production, processing, distribution, Machine Learning, and Analytics.
Video Applications
AWS Media Services are a family of fully-managed services that make it easy to build reliable, broadcast-quality video workflows in the Cloud. Whether you are an enterprise, or a start-up, AWS Media Services allow you to easily create professional quality media experiences for your viewers without the time, effort and expense that used to typically be required to run specialized video equipment in a traditional data center. These on-demand, elastic services help you innovate faster and respond quickly to changes in video technology.
Studio in the Cloud
AWS Thinkbox helps creative studios and visual artists harness the power of the cloud by providing a conduit to AWS and near-limitless compute capacity. Acquired in March 2017, AWS Thinkbox develops Deadline, a high-volume compute management software application that helps studios optimize and scale their compute resources on premises or on the cloud. AWS Thinkbox products are widely used across entertainment, design, architecture, and engineering. AWS Thinkbox is headquartered in Winnipeg, Canada, with team members spread around the globe.
Amazon Machine Learning
AWS has the broadest and deepest set of machine learning and AI services for your business. On behalf of our customers, we are focused on solving some of the toughest challenges that hold back machine learning from being in the hands of every developer. You can choose from pre-trained AI services for computer vision, language, recommendations, and forecasting; Amazon SageMaker to quickly build, train and deploy machine learning models at scale; or build custom models with support for all the popular open-source frameworks.
Content Delivery
Amazon CloudFront is a global content delivery network (CDN) service that securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to your viewers with low latency and high transfer speeds. CloudFront is integrated with AWS – both physical locations that are directly connected to the AWS global infrastructure, as well as software that works seamlessly with services including AWS Shield for DDoS mitigation, Amazon S3, Elastic Load Balancing or Amazon EC2 as origins for your applications, and AWS Lambda to run custom code close to your viewers.
AWS Elemental Appliances & Software
AWS Elemental Appliances and Software solutions bring advanced video processing and delivery technologies into your data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility. You can deploy AWS Elemental Appliances and Software via preconfigured appliances or as AWS-licensed software on your own hardware to encode, package, and deliver video assets on-premises and seamlessly connect with cloud-based video infrastructure. Designed for easy integration with AWS Media Services, AWS Elemental Appliances and Software support video workloads that need to remain on-premises to accommodate physical camera and router interfaces, managed network delivery, or network bandwidth constraints.
